Last Friday the weather was nice, which was awesome as Artifakt had planned a picnic to celebrate International Steampunk Day.
We did have the back-up plan of staying inside at the far end of the station where the crowds are very few and so we wouldn't be bothering anyone if the weather had been dire but it didn't have to come to that.

Instead of going to the city park we opted to go to a nice patch of grass nearby the station.

So we spend most of the afternoon on the grass, plotted things to do, ate the delicious cucumber sandwhiches Marijke and the tasty pasta Dorian's sister had made and munched on shrimp crackers and Aztec cookies. The plan was to have dinosaur cookies but the company decided it was done with dinosaurs and wanted to do a different look, so edible Aztec symbolism is the new thing.
Still good for the steampunk style archaelogists amongst us we suppose.

We found a kind passerby to take our photo, hung out some more, Sam and Youri mutilated a clock under the watchful eye of Laurens and then (after having cleaned up after ourselves of course!) we went inside the station again to take some individual outfit shots where the weather wasn't quite as boiling and the light wasn't quite as bright.
And we got another group shot taken by another kind passer by, because you know, you can never have too many group shots :)
